Bull Outdoor® Products and the World Food Championships announced today a qualifying process that will send six field-tested burger chefs from across the country into the World Burger Championship as part of “Team Bull.” The Bull Burger Battle competition events will involve about 100 “backyard pros” competing for the six coveted spots in local outdoor burger grilling competitions throughout America, including cities like San Diego, Baton Rouge, Chicago, and Indianapolis. “This is an exciting opportunity to partner with the World Food Championships and place Bull Outdoor Products at the forefront of championship culinary competitions,” commented Mark Nurredine, owner of Bull Outdoor Products.
